is the obligate intermediate host of , highlighting the medical importance of interrupting this unique and long-standing parasite-host interaction in controlling schistosomiasis transmission. It has been reported that a catfish trematode sp. could have the potential to function as an effective anti-schistosomal agent in the snail host. However, the feasibility of this eco-friendly biological control strategy should be comprehensively investigated and evaluated in endemic areas for schistosomiasis. In this study, a field survey was conducted from 2012 to 2016 in the marshlands of Poyang Lake, which is one of the highly endemic regions for schistosomiasis in China. Results showed that more than half of (65.79%) were infected with sp., and the average intensity of infection was 14.21 per fish. And the average infection rate of sp. in is 1.11%. These findings indicated that there are abundant biological resources for the implementation of this biology control strategy in the marshlands of Poyang Lake. The data presented here provide solid evidences for the practical application of this biological control strategy, thereby contributing to achieving the goals of the elimination of schistosomiasis.
是 的专性中间宿主，这凸显了在控制血吸虫病传播过程中中断这种独特且长期存在的寄生虫-宿主相互作用的医学重要性。据报道，一种鲶鱼吸虫 种可能有潜力在蜗牛宿主中作为一种有效的抗血吸虫病媒介发挥作用。然而，这种生态友好型生物控制策略在血吸虫病流行地区的可行性应得到全面调查和评估。在本研究中，于2012年至2016年在中国血吸虫病高度流行地区之一的鄱阳湖沼泽地进行了实地调查。结果显示，超过一半的 （65.79%）感染了 种，每条鱼的平均感染强度为14.21。并且 种在 中的平均感染率为1.11%。这些发现表明，在鄱阳湖沼泽地有丰富的生物资源可用于实施这种生物控制策略。此处呈现的数据为这种生物控制策略的实际应用提供了确凿证据，从而有助于实现消除血吸虫病的目标。
